Lead Generation Specialist for Creative Professionals Remote Position | Flexible Hours with Deadlines | 1099 Commission-Based Company Overview We connect freelance artists with clients who need their creative services, allowing artists to focus on their craft while we handle client acquisition. Our unique approach specializes in artist-to-artist connections, where one creative professional's work enhances another's marketing and promotional efforts. Position Summary We're seeking experienced Lead Generation Specialists to identify and connect with potential clients for freelance artists across various creative disciplines. This fully remote, make-your-own-hours position operates as a 1099 independent contractor role with commission-based compensation tied to project completion and deadlines. Unlike traditional lead generation, you'll be facilitating creative partnerships where artists support other artists. For example: • Connecting game designers with authors who need interactive promotional content, • Pairing music composers with filmmakers seeking original scores, • Linking illustrators with indie game developers needing visual assets, • Matching animators with content creators building their brand What Makes This Role Unique Artist-to-Artist Focus: You'll find artists in one medium who would benefit from hiring an artist in a different medium—creating mutually beneficial creative collaborations. Flexible, Remote Work: Work from anywhere, set your own schedule, and take on projects that fit your availability. The only requirement is meeting agreed-upon deadlines. Commission-Based Model: Get paid a fixed commission per completed project. Deliver the full list of qualified leads by the deadline, receive full payment. It's that simple. 1099 Independent Contractor: You work as an independent contractor, giving you complete flexibility and control over when and how much you work. Primary Responsibilities Client Discovery & Qualification • Research and identify potential clients across targeted platforms (Discord servers, subreddits, niche social media communities, creative forums, and even online gaming spaces), • Focus on finding artists advertising their work in different mediums who could benefit from your assigned artist's services, • Prioritize emerging and independent creators who actively seek innovative marketing solutions, • Locate genuine opportunities where creative services can provide promotional value, • Lead Development, • Compile comprehensive prospect lists including: contact methods (email, social media handles, Discord usernames), full names, project specifications, timeline requirements, and budget indicators when available, • Target a pre-determined number of qualified leads within agreed-upon deadlines, • Document specific needs and project details for each potential client, • Ensure all leads represent realistic opportunities for artist-to-artist collaboration, • Strategic Outreach Planning, • Utilize provided resources including curated lists of websites, servers, social media groups, subreddits, apps, and online communities, • Identify where target clients naturally congregate and engage, • Recognize cross-promotional opportunities between different artistic mediums, • Adapt search strategies based on the specific art medium and client requirements of your assigned artist, • Project Completion & Deliverables, • Provide organized, actionable lead lists to artists with complete contact information and project details, • Meet specified quantity and quality benchmarks within deadline parameters, • Maintain clear documentation of research methods and prospect sources, • Communicate proactively if challenges arise during the research process Compensation Structure 1099 Commission-Based Model: • You work as an independent contractor (1099), not an employee, • You receive a fixed commission for each completed assignment, • Commission is paid upon successful delivery of the agreed-upon number of qualified leads by the deadline, • If you fail to deliver the complete list by the deadline, commission will be withheld, • Artists can request refunds if deliverables don't meet specifications, which will result in commission being withheld from you, • Commission amounts vary based on lead quantity, complexity, and timeline, • Payment Timeline:, • Commission processed within 3-5 business days after artist confirms receipt and acceptance of lead list, • Direct deposit or PayPal transfer available, • You are responsible for your own taxes as a 1099 contractor, • Important Note: You are compensated for lead generation and delivery only. Whether the artist successfully closes sales with the provided leads does not affect your commission—your job ends when qualified prospects are delivered on time. Ideal Candidate Background Required Experience: • Former artistic agents or artist managers, • Marketing professionals with experience in creative industries, • B2B or B2C lead generation specialists (preferably with creative sector exposure), • Talent coordinators or creative project managers, • Professionals who have worked at the intersection of multiple artistic disciplines, • Anyone with proven client acquisition or research experience who understands creative communities, • Why Traditional Platforms Don't Prepare You for This:, • While platforms like Fiverr host many qualified professionals doing business-to-business corporate outreach, this role requires direct-to-artist client discovery. You'll be finding individual creators, not companies—which means different strategies, communities, and communication approaches. Skills & Qualifications Essential: • Deep understanding of multiple creative industries (music, visual arts, writing, game development, film, animation, design, etc.), • Proven track record in lead generation, client acquisition, or research-based roles, • Strong organizational skills and attention to detail, • Ability to recognize synergies between different artistic mediums, • Self-motivated with excellent time management for deadline-driven work, • Comfortable working independently with minimal supervision, • Proficiency with social media platforms, online communities, and digital research tools, • Preferred:, • Personal experience as a freelance creative professional, • Active network within artistic communities, • Familiarity with creative collaboration platforms and communities (Discord, Reddit, niche forums), • Understanding of how artists market and promote their work, • Experience identifying underserved or emerging creative markets, • Background in artist representation, creative agencies, or entertainment industries, • Technical Skills:, • Comfortable navigating Discord servers, Reddit, Facebook Groups, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, TikTok, • Ability to research across niche platforms and online communities, • Basic spreadsheet skills for organizing lead information, • Familiarity with online gaming communities (VRChat, Roblox, Minecraft servers) is a plus Working Arrangement 1099 Independent Contractor: You are self-employed and responsible for your own taxes Fully Remote: Work from anywhere in the world with internet access Flexible Schedule: Set your own hours and work when it suits you best Project-Based: Take on as many or as few projects as your schedule allows Deadline-Driven: Each assignment comes with a clear deadline that must be met for commission payment Assignment Structure: • You'll be matched with artists whose needs align with your expertise, • Each assignment specifies: art medium, target client count, deadline, and commission amount, • You receive resources including platform lists and search strategies tailored to the artist's needs, • Clear success criteria established before each project begins Success Metrics Your performance will be evaluated based on: • On-time delivery: Meeting agreed-upon deadlines consistently, • Lead quantity: Delivering the exact number of leads specified in the assignment, • Lead quality: Providing complete, accurate information for each prospect (contact method, name, project details, relevant context), • Relevance: Ensuring prospects genuinely fit the artist's medium, style, and target market, • Professionalism: Maintaining clear communication and documentation throughout the project What We Provide Resources for Success: • Curated lists of platforms, communities, and spaces where target clients gather, • Clear briefs on each assigned artist including their medium, style, capabilities, and ideal client profile, • Defined success criteria before each project begins, • Support in understanding cross-medium artistic collaboration opportunities, • Access to a knowledge base of successful lead generation strategies, • Ongoing Support:, • Responsive communication for questions or clarifications during projects, • Feedback on completed work to help you improve, • Priority assignment opportunities for high-performing specialists
